My beautiful baby girl, where to begin, as you amaze me everyday with your big personality.  I love you with every inch of being that I am.  You are truly a blessing to so many people, but most of all, to me.  When you walk into a room your smile lights the way and let’s not forget your giggle that can make anyone laugh.  I am so proud to call you mine as I cherish every single moment I have with you which there never seems to be enough of.  Your wild, free spirit makes me tear up as I know you  are headed for greatness.  You are my biggest accomplishment as I never dreamed that becoming a mom would change me the way that it did.  The compassion you show at such a young age astonishes me as you see the world in such a positive way and the words you speak “look on the bright-side momma” are always with me.

My favorite moments with you are those quiet moments we have together where I am able to just sit there and look at you with disbelief that you are mine.  Whether we are dancing or watching a movie I can’t help but smile.  The nights when I am able to rest with you for a few minutes before bed and we chat about our days as we look up at your stars are priceless.  Everyday I see you grow before my eyes and I want to take in every second that I can.  You always know when I am having a bad day and you are able to make everything wash away.  I cherish every moment, every smile, and every tear.

I have so many hopes and dreams for you my little girl.  I hope you never lose that sense of magic that exists in the world as I know you can see it.  I hope you are able to always see the good even though it is hard to find sometimes.  You are going to go through the roller coaster of life but just know life is what you make of it.  Not everyone is going to be nice or loving but don’t let that change you.  Love unconditionally my Princess and find someone someday that will treat you like a Queen.  Follow your dreams and don’t listen to those who say it isn’t possible.  I know you will make your own path on your journey but remember to always stop and smell the roses as it is the little moments you need to cherish.  I hope even during the saddest moments in your life you are able to breathe and take time for yourself as the happiness will come back. My last hope is that no matter where I am you know how much I love you and I am always thinking about you.

Love always and forever,

Momma

In my daughter’s eyes,
I can see the future,
A reflection of who I am and what will be,
And though she’ll grow and someday leave,
Maybe raise a family,
When I’m gone I hope you’ll see,
How happy she made me,
For I’ll be there,
In my daughter’s eyes
